Haiti: Drone Strikes Put Residents at Risk
Haitian security forces conduct lethal drone strikes against criminal groups in densely populated areas, risking civilian casualties.
Human Rights Watch reports that Haitian security forces and private contractors have conducted extensive and apparently unlawful lethal drone strikes with quadcopter drones armed with explosives in densely populated urban areas. The attacks, attributed to a specialized “Task Force” established by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils‑Aimé and supported by the private military company Vectus Global, have killed and injured dozens of people, including children and other residents who are not members of criminal groups. The United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti has documented these operations and noted that they put ordinary residents at significant risk.
